  • Aberystwyth University Women's Club 1955-2015 (PDF)
    I. Beginnings Three of us, Mollie Reynolds, Hannah Harbury and myself were having coffee together, and we saw the wife of one of the members of staff going past. In that pre-feministic age, the custom was to refer to ‘the wife of this-or-that professor’. Anyway, not one of us could remember who she was, and we agreed that that was a laughable situation. You have to remember that only a fifth of the number of students that are here today were at the College at that time; the majority of the staff lived in the town and the professors either walked or bicycled to the College. There were very few houses on Waunfawr, and nearly every College department was in the old building. Mollie suggested that we start a Club. And so we set about composing a letter and having copies made. There was no such thing as photocopying then. We were surprised by the reaction, everyone was enthusiastic, and I found myself treasurer of this new Club, much to my husband’s unease! This is how Mair Williams described the formation of the University of Wales Women’s Club (or the College Women’s Club as it was first called) in Yr Angor in 1995 on the occasion of its 40th anniversary. She later recalled that this had happened at a College event around 1954, about the time that Goronwy Rees had arrived at Aberystwyth. Mollie Reynolds suggestion that we start a Club stemmed from the fact that she had been a member of a Women’s Club at the London School of Economics where her husband, Philip A.

  • The National Library of Wales
    THE NATIONAL LIBRARY OF WALES ANNUAL ACCOUNTS 1999/2000 COUNCIL'S ANNUAL REPORT Statutory Background The National Library of Wales was founded by Royal Charter of Incorporation granted 19 March 1907 (and Supplemental Charter with further provisions for constitution and government on 5 September 1911). A further Supplemental Charter was granted on 27 April 1978. During 1999/2000 it was funded predominantly from Government grants provided through the National Assembly for Wales (Welsh Office until 30th June 1999). These accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Direction made by the National Assembly for Wales with the approval of the Treasury under Section 9(4) of the Museums and Galleries Act 1992. A copy of the Direction is available from the Director of Finance. The Library is organised into four departments: Printed Books, Manuscripts and Records, Pictures and Maps, and Administration and Technical Services. It is one of six legal deposit libraries in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The Library has been approved as a repository for memorial records by the Master of the Rolls in 1926; for the Archives of the Church in Wales, deposited in 1934, and the Records of the Church in Wales deposited in 1944. By direction of the Probate Division the Ecclesiastical Probate Records were transferred to the Library in 1945. In 1960 it was appointed a repository for certain records under the Public Records Act, 1958. Objects The principal objects of the Library are the collection, preservation and maintenance of printed, graphic and audio-visual material and manuscripts and records relating to the Welsh and Celtic peoples, and materials for the furtherance of higher education and literary and scientific research, as laid down within the Objects of the Library in its Royal Charters.

    THE JOURNAL of the UNITED REFORMED CHURCH HISTORY SOCIETY (incorporating the Congregational Historical Society, founded in 1899, the Presbyterian Historical Society of England, founded in 1913, and the Churches of Christ Historical Society, founded in 1979). EDITOR: PROFESSOR CLYDE BINFIELD, M.A., F.S.A. Volume 7 No 10 July 2007 CONTENTS Editorial and Notes . 575 Dissenters and the Slave Trade by John Handby Thompson . 577 Howell Harris: a Welsh Icon and the two Women Closest to him by Jean Silvan Evans . 593 "Adventures in Holidaymaking" -a Political Approach to Leisure: The Inspiration and Influence ofT.Arthur Leonard, 1864-1948 by Rosamund Ridley. 605 Reviews by David Allen, Jason Askew, Peter M. Brant, James Cook, Ruth Gouldbourne, Elaine Kaye, Robert Pope, Andrew C. Thompson. 621 EDITORIAL This i~sue, which completes the Journal's seventh volume, marks the bicentenary of the abolition of the slave trade, or rather the formal abolition of Britain's role in the transatlantic trade. Dr Thompson's paper explores the evolution of Dissenting attitudes to slavery as expressed by Richard Baxter, Philip Doddridge and - less of a household name - Henry Grove. Jean Silvan Evans's paper on Howell Harris, delivered at the society's summer school in Leeds in September 2005, is a welcome contribution to debate and to the history of women's studies signalled by Daughters of Dissent. Rosamund Ridley's paper combines the history of leisure with radical politics and introduces detective work that is still in progress. This is an appropriate point to draw attention to the Society's first Occasional Publication, David Bebbington's Congregational Members of Parliament in the Nineteenth Century (2007), delivered as the Society's Annual Lecture in September 2006, to which Professor Bebbington has appended a biographical list of 102 MPs who can reasonably be called Congregationalists and a further 28 whose denominational attribution is much less clear, but who certainly illustrate the remarkably wide hinterland of Congregational connexion.
